Abstract

|
The role of transoral robotic surgery in the treatment of upper aerodigestive tract tumor has expanded in recent. Since the approval of the da Vinci system, the number of transoral robotic surgery has increased significantly. The main indications of transoral robotic surgery are tumors of oropharynx, hypopharynx, and larynxs. Transoral robotic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical approach that offers surgical access to the laryngopharynx without the morbidity of open surgeries while achieving excellent oncologic and functional outcomes. The appropriate application of transoral robotic surgery is still being investigated and previous studies supports transoral robotic surgery as a viable option in the management of upper aerodigestive tract tumor.
